They were just waiting for the bar to be set low enough. Raise it an inch or so and you’ll start seeing social justice activism taper off dramatically.

I’m White, named “Hank,” after my mom’s dad. Not a very common name, when I was born. More an early 20th century name, for cowboys and gas-station attendants. I was 16 before I met another Hank, and she was a Black professor of English Lit. And I was the first Hank she had met. She’s also been named for her…

You got that right. You’d think at this point, 9,500 +/- jokes into the term, the libs would begin to appreciate our president’s comedic genius. But no. 

Your linked blog is talking about longevity in places like Guangxi and Okinawa. In the United States, the correlation between wealth and longevity is well established. Money has a great deal to do with how long people live in this country.  https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2016/04/for-life-expectancy-money-matter…

Uh, yeah, I know who Manafort is. I have a newspaper-reader’s understanding of what he’s been up to. I’m glad he’s locked up. I didn’t like the rape reference on MY account, not his. Some days that kind of rape-y joke hits me worse than others. Dismiss away.

I’m really not liking the rape joke. Not just because it’s the stupidest, tiredest, most-used-ever, worn-out-fifty-years-ago prison rape joke, but because of the overt support it lends rape culture. 

And it’s the Prison Shower Rape Joke!!!!!

Well, “Just Being Real” is an absolute howler, for starters. 

Thanks Monique, that needed doing. But now I’m worried. What’s Michael going to do, when he comes back next week and finds us all acting like we’ve got a clue, keeping our mouths civil and our thoughts thoughtful? Maybe there’s a few people out here in the gray who will take it on themselves to PRETEND to be invincible…

Does the word “human” appear, at all, in either document? It sure isn’t part of the cited passage. 

Of course killing babies isn’t healthcare. Only a monster would want to kill babies. That being said, the medical removal of blastocysts, zygotes, embryos, and non-viable fetuses, IS healthcare. 

And the bill for reparations keeps getting higher.

Writing from ten blocks South, I am SO glad someone is finally stepping up to care for the urban professionals in Hyde Park. God bless them for their noble work.

If she’d just reported it, we’d never have heard about it and she’d be going about her life as usual. But she didn’t just report it, did she? Public person and some-time pundit that she is, she tweeted it out for all the world to see. Judging by what she wrote, she thought she’d be admired for it. The dragging she’s…

They totally have the power to arrest people for contempt. They use their own sergeant, but I think they borrow a cell, maybe from the feds.

Of course the “her” includes the baby. If the baby is female, she’ll get to live in a state where decisions about her reproductive capacity are hers to make, rather than a world where sustaining pregnancies and giving birth are compulsory, and enforced by the state. Kansas has affirmed that it is a state where women…

A kid I’ve known since middle school came through earlier today, with his graduation pictures, and to tell me where he was going to college next Fall. He’s been working various jobs for years, now, helping his mom keep his little brother and sister fed and clothed, etc. He’s going to be the first in his family to go…

That’s all great, but admit it: He messed up with the “She the People” event. That was a genuinely lame performance.

No one has to approve of the guy to vote for him. They just have to dislike whoever the Dems run more than they dislike of him. So, with 35% actively approving of him, he’s probably in great shape; he just needs 16% of the remainder to see him as the lesser evil. 

A note to everyone who is against the death penalty, except in such-and-such a case:
